SPRIGGING

ca: RAMELLS

es: RAMILLETEADO

Sprigging is adding small shapes in clay to decorate another clay article, they can be flat or with a molded form. The decoration can be done with different colored clays, but it is better if all the clays are the same make. When both parts are semi-dry they must be luted and attached with slurry which works as an adhesive. Make the slurry with the clay the article is made of.
